The City of Pompeii
Pompeii is one of the world's most amazing archaeological experiences. You have to understand and comprehend that most of the city wasn't blown away by a fiery volcano, it was actually covered and preserved by a layer of pumice stone. This resulted in one of the most well preserved slices of ancient Italian life.
Visitors can see the great work archaeologists have done to preserve the city, you can see the Roman streets, go around and see the very very old houses, temples, shops, cafes, and even theaters.
Vesuvius was the volcano that erupted killing 2000 men, women and children in Pompeii. One of the coolest things about Pompeii is that maintenance work is still going on to this day and with technology new discoveries are being unearthed all the time. As of today, only 44 of Pompeii’s 66 acres have been uncovered.
